I've already got the telnet bash over ethernet. So I've been doing a little research...found something about zmodem, rz/sz? I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to transfer the file over serial. Do I need some special software on the PC side?

The reason I "make" you uninstall the old before installing the new is that the script is riddled with commands that append things to the author file and the .profile, so that hacks startup when you boot. When you uninstall, it restores the original unappended author file and .profile, so you're starting with a clean slate for the new install. I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do this, but this is the cleanest, and prevents multiple conflicting startup commands in the author file and .profile.

I'm not trying to make more work for you because the script is already fantastic. One option maybe to ask whether you want to append to the author file for each section - if reinstalling then you could answer no to all the previous installs. Another option would be to grep the author file to see if the strings exists and then ask whether to overwrite, etc.

Of course, this would open the install script up to a whole new set of user errors .

Hey Guys, I just hacked one of my tivos w/ the zipper and it worked amaingly but I want to hack my hr10-250 unit. I ran the zipper on the drive and have a working bash prompt into the tivo but when i try to run the superscript it says that my software is not supported???I know at least 7 people in this forum have upgraded their hr10-250 what am I doing wrong?

The HR10-250 runs an older version of the TiVo software than the other DTiVos do. You can hack it and do some stuff, but not nearly as much. If you can telnet into it you've got about 50% of the hacks that we can talk about here on it already. TiVoweb and CID are the main two hacks people put on it. Do some reading around in the Underground here and see what folks are running on their HR10-250s. That'll give you an idea what can and cannot be done on it.

The HR10-250 works with the Zipper and the enhancement script. The only catch is that you have to have 3.1.5f or 3.1.5e software, which were the latest versions. The superpatch doesnt work on 3.x software, so I have to do manual tivoapp patches in the script. I can't make up tivoapp patches to cover every past version of the software. So, upgrade your software and try again.

just want to say I am sorry and should read my own words before posting.
I said MFS because that was the line I was on in the script when I thought of some questions.

MFS ask for the other tivo address and since I have not assigned static addresses
this should be skipped?

In netconfig should I give the tivo a static IP ?
I have heard that its a good idea and some post on ddb have said
its not.
a lot of this was posted when I did my first tivo last june...with lots of failures

what should I do, set it up static ip adresses, or does it matter, right now I am not transferring between tivos anyway. I have not run any cables yet between the two.

again sorry for not checking my own post...it was stupid
but then again so am I LOL

I hope this makes more since.

No problem. Static or dhcp doesnt matter, even if you MRV. MRV requires IP params set in MFS, regardless of static or dhcp.
